Since opening its first location in June 2004, New York Burger Co. has transformed the way New Yorkers view fast food, introducing them to tastier and healthier meals than those offered by the big chains.

At New York Burger Co. they prepare all their food with great care, meaning they char-grill their burgers to order, freshly cut fries and compose salads on the spot, and offer signature chilis, dipping sauces and salad dressings. No wonder New Yorkers voted New York Burger Co. "Best Burger" in AOL CityGuide's "City's Best" 2005 and 2007 consumer poll.

New York Burger Co. knows that high-quality food demands high-quality ingredients, so they use all-natural angus beef for their burgers and chilis and all-natural chicken breast and ground turkey in their sandwiches. Their fresh cut fries and award-winning onion rings are cooked in cholesterol-free, expeller pressed soybean oil. What's more, their ingredients have no added preservatives – part of why their food tastes so good.

New York Burger Co.'s counter service allows them to prepare their high-quality food quickly. But because you're enjoying fast food, doesn't mean you want a typical fast-food atmosphere. They have created interiors that are spacious and attractive, with an aesthetic inspired by famous mid-century modern designs.
